Going tapeless – am I nuts?

[Randolph Harrison]

Hi Shane,
Re: your “P2 workflow”… I have just shot an indie film on HVX’s and have downloaded to hard drives (3 terrabytes). I have a G5 quad with both Avid Express & Final Cut Pro on it. We are trying to figure out the best work flow from this point. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Randy

I’m with Shane. I just wrapped production on a feature using P2, & it worked perfectly. We chose to back up the cards to 2 sets of DVD+DL at around $1.80 per disk (we’re VEEERY into redundancy). I was able to edit & create scratch effects in HD on set using a G4 Powerbook & FW800 drives.
